Lord MELVILLE brought in a fill, in conipliance (as we Understood his Lordship) With the prayer of a petition formerly presented by him to their Lordships, for incorporating the Clerks to the Writers to the Signet in Scotland, and enabling them to make bre-laws. His Lordship stated, that he ander. stood there would be some objection made to the Bill, and if that were the case he should hot press it. The LORD CHA NCELLOR thought this Society might accomplish their object in the ordinary way.. He saw no good reason for their coming before Parliament; and, at least, the Bill should be allowed to stand over, that time Might he given to inquire. Lord MELVILLE, accordingly; moved the second reading that day six months. Several Private fills were forwarded one stage. The disposal of Prisons' Bill was rosd ;i second ti journed till Monday.

ACLAND presented a petition from the Weavers and others engaged in the woollen trade of Colltimpton, in the county of Devon, praying for a repeal of the Act which em— powered Jostled to sakes the work of mama :mutters. This Act he stated, had been productive of great inconvenience to the workmen employed in the woollen trade ; for, on account of the assessment of their work, to reimburse themselves for which the manufacturers in many instances refused to undertake any large order upon them unless the parish agreed t 0 pay them a certain sum for employing; its poor in the execution of iheerder. This sum was often refused, and the consequence was the dis. charge of a great number of workmen, who were thus deprived of the means of gaining a subsistence, althongh they wished to work themselves.—Ordertil to be printed. The Bill of the rEgis Fire Insurance Company was read a second time and committed. Sir E. KNA Te ['BULL presented a petition from the J 114* tices of the Peace of the County of Kent, complaining of the etpence incurred by them, In transmitting their accounts to the House, and praying for same alteration.—Referred to the Coin. mince on the County Hates. - SLAVE R Mr. MUNDAY presented a petition from the Inhabitant of the Borough of Chesterfield, in the County of Derby, against Slavery.—Ordered to be,printed.

Mr. HUME presented a Petition from the Inhabitants and Freeholder* of Alontrose, praying the House not to delay any longer the prayers of the numerous Petitions on this subject, but to take into their serious consideration the Statute Laws on the subject, anti to carefully revise them. The Hon. MEMBER. also Presented, from the Weavers of the town of' Dumblane; anti some othei town in Scotland, Pea, titions to the same effect. lie trusted that the prayer of the Petitioners would be attended to, ,trill that at soon it poisible. —Laid on the table. Mr. HEATIICODE was sorry to see so many petitious on th e subject of the Corn. Laws, b eeat t s e he was convinced that nothing could be done relative to them before next Svssion, On account opfethtiteiopnrsesosf the o poorfbusin p e ople were to be re ceive d Wi t h that must come under th e con . gi d ent tl ° ll of the Mine this Sestion. fie certainly. thought thethat the same disposition of feeling as those of the higher clasi, but he was convinced that when respectable men presented petitions which chewed a vpirit of forcing the Mu" to attend to them, and employed the invective which had hcen made use of tire Teech of the lion. Member for Aberdeen., such as the Broad ax, the Landlords' Act, the Job of Jobs, and many, other equally irritating, they were Calculated to be prejudicial to their own interests. Sir 12. FERGUSON was surprised at the tenor of the lion. Oentlenian's language; for his part, he did not see why any body should be averse to hiving bread cheaper ; he thought that if a protecting duty were impokd on Corn as well aS Silk, the benefits to the poor class would be ensured. Mr. II EATIICOTI: e'xplained. MONCK said, that the great price of food in this country prevented any thing like an equality of pride between the Manufactitters of this Country and those of France. They were obliged to give higher Wages on account of the price or prOVisions in general, but more. specially of Wad. There were many persons who were involuntarily obliged to become burthen on the parish they belonged to, on account of the lowness of their wages and the high price of bread, ,and thus the present.state of the Corn Laws were the source of a great cid to the country. The petitiOn was brought up, after a feai words from Mr. CUIL*Ert and Sir Jon i NEWponT, the ITrter of whom said, he believed the dlstresit in Ireland Was tube attributed at the present day to the perniissiou granted to make use : of thu, Corp warehoused till lately In this country. . . The petititid purptlfted to be that of the parishioners of Arbrciath. Another petition was presented by the Hen. Mem ber from the Conveners of Arbroath and 1)1'1111411e, praying, foithe,reVision of the Corn Laws.—They were ordered to b e Printed. COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY. The CHANCELLOR of the. EXCHEWIER moved that the House should resolve itself into a Committee of Supply. On the motion that the Srimmttu should leave the Chair, Mr. MABERLY said, he felt it his duty in this stage to ti raw the attention of the Hotiee to the abuses which had been introduced intd the menagedient of our Finances. His observa tions in the first instance should apply to the mismanagement Of the Funded Debt of this country ; and he should in the next Place make some remark* tin . the mismanagement of the Un funded Debt, both of which had, hi his optnion, materially in. lured the state of public credit And first, as to Excheque r ins i He begged t h ose H on . entlemen who came dow n nightly to vote so readily 30 or 4 millions of Exchequer .Bills, to consider what sort of security these Exchequer Bills were,they were bills not always payable on demand, but very -nearly so; oftentlmes payable on demand by . adverdeement from the Ex chequer Office. They were securities fora debt long since con. tracted. The Hon. Membet here took a review of the amount of' Exchequer Bills which might have been received in the dif. ferent quarters of the last year for revenue, which averaged from four to seven millions, although thirty millions of Exdhe quef Bills were then due and outstanding. lie contended there had been a great over issue of this sort of security. In Novem. ber these Exchequer Bills were at a discount of 110 e. This Owned Government ; the Bank kingly consented to go into the money market, and buy these securities in, which raised them to par. Government too had consented to raise the interest on them, to keep up their nominal price ; but on Feb. 14, they were again as low 113 % I N. discount, and the Bank again felt it a duty to purchase largely, which again brought them to par. Ilea these large stints in Exchequer Bills come in quartirly, as Re. venue, which they would have done but for the kind Interferer), e of the Bank in two instances, the Right lion. Gent. would not have had any money wherewith to pay the dividends or interest of the Debt, and he would have been-obliged to !lain asked an ; advance of Exchequer Bills, giving the Bank as u guarantee, a promise to grant the Bank a bill fat suspending their Cash Payments in case there were a run upon it. In what a serious situation would this country be in this condition of idfairs, if the Rtissian army were to march into Turkey, which was not at all improbable, and such= event must necessarily turn the ex changes against this country. The danger of the Exchequer Bills being so heavy in the market was, that though they were itecuri ties at a low rate of interest, still they were al wars demandable when the holders chose, anti might involve us in very consider. able difficulty if the holders pressed for payment of them at an ineonvent time. There had been a fine opportunity in his mind , lost for the reduction of the amount of this sort of security when the Stocks had rapidly risen from 00 to 95, Why lied not the Bight Hop. Gentleman embraced a aisle so very favourable for the puhlic ? It had been said, to be sure, that by not doing , so, he had saved 300,000/. yearly interest,: bee this wail more then equipoised by the loss of eight millions of Stock on that transaction only : In the next place lie must observe, th a t i n . Stead of appropnating the whole of the Sinking Fund, as had been done, to the reduction of the Funded Debt, it would be much better to apply it to the reddetion of the Unfuntfed Debt. On Allis branch of tinanee he thought that a strong case (vas made out to prove that the Right Honourable Gentleman had not conducted the public monied transactions of the etitintfir Judiciously. 'or these reasons he should take the li berty of proposing a train of resolutions which would throw, first an historical light on the situation of the money relating of this country ; and, secondly, point out sortie of the simpler and more obvious means &remedy fig the present evile oh the System. The Hon. Member here read over hie remolutiotis, Which in substance were as follow,—That it appeared t o th e'! House, front returns anti papers laid before it, that op the Oth I of Janua ry, 1820, the mutt:Hied debt of the country Amount e d to 37,11d1, Mi. ; that from different causes these secur i t i es i n Exchequer Bils fell on the 20th of Decenther to a discount of ON. per cent.; film which depression it was relieved by the measure adopted by the Bank of England of purchasing Ex. elietpier Bills in the Market, which raised these securities to poi and yet, notwithstanding this remedial measure for the absorption of Exchequer Bills, and the increased interest al. ]owed by Government on them to keep up their price, they be cattie again, on the 14th of February, at a discount of 21 shile lings, owing to the heavy advances Which it was known the ellank had made to Government and on annuities, beside the advance of three millions to pay the dissentient holders of four per cent. stock, had disabled and emberraeeed the Bank so much, that had these Exchequer' havel i lcheqt b re e r ei ß l, il i l n a th b le ee w n a r y ct o u r rn p e a t y l n o ie n n ( t io . . t. veromoot, as they might Revenue. Government would not have had the means to pay the dividends, nor could the Bank safely have advanced Govern- ' Meru money on an issue of Exchequer Bills to enable Ministers to pay the dividend»; and, finally, that it app Aired highly ex peilleat to the House, under the circutnstencee, to reduce the tinfiduled Debt within mach smaller limits, than hitherto hid limited the issue, of that species of security. In addition to his obeeetion to the conduct of' the Right Honourable Gentle man and his Colleague?' on this particular head, he had to charge the Right Honourable Gentleman with shutting his eyes to the obvious inconveniences and mismanagement which were'known to be for some time existing in our linen dal transactions. He alluded to the project for the mainte. nance of a cleat Sinking Fund of five millions applicable to the reduction of the Funded Debt, proposed by a Noble Lord in 1822, and yet all this profession • was followed in less than fourteen days alter a loan under the mime of the , Dead Weight to the amount of seventy-four minions, nhieh %VHS proposed and immedietely carried. Of this loan the Beak purchased thirteen millioni, having already made advances on u to the amount of eight millions. Now, if the Bank, loaded as it now was. were disposed to ease itself' end sell this debt, what would be the consequence P Ile denied the .11enk could convert this* lean into money if Pressed. L;eirteinly it could not, perticularly if the exChangee were againmt this country ; or if tt attempted to do eo. it mnet be done at .nor molts sacri fices. In feet, these ExChequer bilk were no longer a con eertible smithy, end yet the Bank continued to advance to Government to the extent of above twenty-five minions. It was thence clear. that hampered and engaged es the Bank was, it could never convert theee securities into money, in time to save Itself and preeerve its credits. /V those ()kne. reasons, he should strenuously advise the Ri 3 ,t i e i h t ,pl, ( l u l l , n i t t l; ? cej i l i t i pi ra illitey l eb i ir l t e cl f le il oo e if n wh t te l liri e ldee . m m i . t e n ig t i o n i:t ai pe to a ei th h a e t r.

The . Hon. !Benier el - included by inorintr it titbendrifentjaha Resolution which he had previously read in the former part of his *!leech. . Mr. BERRI cs Was happy tti say ho should feel it unne cessary, in reviewing the arguments of the Honourable Gen: denten, to consume much of the time of the Mese. He .would first advert to that point of his lime. Friend's Speech on which he laid the greatest totem, the favourite point of his Hon. Friend. They were accused of iharcuracy,of cenfueimi, of complexity, and more than al! or want of fidelit y in the pnb= lie accounts. Ile believ e d h e s h ou ld b e a b le to sliew that all the confusion was in the mind of the lion. Gentleman. He had. never seen greeter confusion ethibited in •hat flouSe.—Thc paper for Which he had moved had, fortunately for hini, not yet been printed, or even from that paper he could have demon=, riveted that the Hon. Gentlemen was entirely in error. The intention of Friend t avas to institute a comparison bee t wean the amount of the public debt, in the first and the last of tt series of years, adding to last yeeee amount the calculated Ira» lue of a terminable ann u ity of 2,800004 payable to the Bank Of England, on account of the military half pay and pensions. If lie had been Aware ut the time of moving tar that paper, of the fallacy to Which it would l ea d, he would have moved for other papers tin' the purpose of explaining it. 'the concldsion of his lion. Friend was, that between the years IWO and 18213, an increase had abtually taken place in the public debt, and not only so, but that the difilience was town amount so enoranottei that every person must know his conclusion to be erroneous..ee lie had refrained from moving for such papers, because he ton 2 tided in the good sense and inforination of his Hon. Friend td protect him from the errors Into which he had fallen, By merely running the eye down the c ol umn o f fi gures i n t h e statement of the /don. Member, its utter improbability and extravagance became manifest. From the year 1821 to 1824, he saw in the first year of the series 34 millions of floating debt, or there.. abouts, and then all at once he ewer the amount expended to 107 millions, this was aloe sufficient to shew the lunacy of consi. dering these annuities a s an i ncrease or debt. If he had been told that there was a confusion in supposing any diminution of debt to have arisen from granting theme annuities, that he could have understood, but When a measure, which consisted merely . in spreading over a longer period of time certain annual pay ments, was treated as if it had been a creation of debt, he must say that in so treatin g it, t h ere was the mo s t inextricable cor; fusion. The value of the debt never entered into their accounts, and that for grin.! reasons ; the capital and the annual. charge were stated, and that was the only clear way in which the public accounts could be made up. Ile would next endeavour to chew that with respect to the unfunded debt the . Government had not been so improvident or imprudent as the HOn. Gentle man would have them believe. Ile censured Government for not having reduced the unfunded debt et a more profitable time.— The comparia in, however, between any .former time and the present could not be very usefully Made till it wait knoWn whe ther the present time was to be selected for that purpose. Be would look back to the yeer 18111, the year of the Bullion Corn. mittee, to see what. that Committee had recommended, and Would then see what had since been actually done. The recent." mendatfon of that committee had been to reduce the Unfunded Debt ten millions. Unquestionably this had trot only been cc:: complished, blit the reduction had been carried even much fur:, they. The Unfunded D e bt cons i ste d of two parts of Exchequer Bills unprovided for, and of advances by the Bank in anticipa. tion of the ordinary revenu e . T o th e seco nd b ranch of the Un. funded Debt it was the less necessary for him to advert, as it was provided for, and did not requite any operation on the par; of Government, and as the char ge a ga i nst G overnment re f erred only to the Unfunded Debt unprovided for. To that no addition bad been made since 1819, but, on the contrary, it had been gradually and considerably reduced. On January 5, 1819, it amounted to 19,480,0301. On January 8,1826, itWae no more than 6,139,000!. He was now speaking of that portion of ti e Unfunded Debt which was in the bambini' the Bank.—(A con versation here took place across the table between the Hon. 111 ember and 111 r. Illaberly, the purport of which we did not collect.)—The most rapid reduction had taken place in the three first years: In the year 1d22, it bad been reduced to little more than 0,000,000 e, end in the years 1823-4 and A, it underwent a further diminution of 8,000,0001., making altogether* tethiction of 13,000,000/. Ile would then tiek the Home, if this gradual reduction was an indication of that carelosnott upon this itne portant stibject, of which Ciovernment had been accused. There was only two modes by whie:t the Unfonded Debt could be reduced. One was by the appropriation or eurplue revenue, and the other by the creation of funded debt. The question th en was, Whether in any one of the years 1823.4 or 5 it would have been Wiser, taking into view all the • circurhstances of 01°4 perothe to raise money in the public market for the purpose of paying untrue a U lba hfiltuled Debt, thou to adept the meta sures which in each of those years lucre actually taken. The objects which then pressed upon the attention of Government were to afford relief to the subject front the preesu re of taxation, and at the same time to lower the profits, and withdraw the temptations to contraband trade. It could not have esceptel their attention that it would have been better to have had a smaller flnfunded Debt ; but they co u ld n o t ahn at conflicting ob jectm. it was not easy to row two Ways at the same time. A funding of Exchequer Bills would have occasioned a greet increase of the annual charge; and he would ark, if there was any thing in the state of the country hi tiny or those years to induce them to make the sacrifice ? Was there tiny thing which threatened puublic credit—any thing which made it in the least probable that Exchequer Bills should go to such a dile , count, or to make than potir into the the Exchequer VW. Mein of taxes ? So far front this being the case, they bolt' a high premium, and Were indeed so Itittell in request as to afford Government the opportunity, which <it was its duty not to refuse, of reducing the intereet upon them. Indeed the premium presented an ObStacle to their redemption. (Govern. fluent was not et all likely to buy them at 60s. prem. as there" was a provision in the Sinking I , and Act which prohibited the purchase of any funds when above per, lle begged to say, that during this period no 'Exchequer Bills had been hsucd, excepting such e woe given in exchenge for old bills called in. Advertin to these circuo is t anees , h e h a d a r i ght to may , that there cou ld have been no expectation of the country being in such a state as they had recently witnessed. No man would, he thought, press such en argument. Government would have *hewn no wisdom, if, instead of those other beneficial measurees which were adopted, they had reeerted to n Entitling of Excite. quer Bills even if the state great diffi'euhies in the way of such a procedure. He would state the amount of loss which the country would have sustained by the funding of Exchequer Dille, supposing for argument sake that the wholeaimount outetanding had been sit dimposed of. If in the year 18111, when the 3 per Cent. Consols were at 80, the lost would have been hp to the present time,5,420,000e ; if in 1019,5,156,000/, ; if hi 1820, 4,302,0004 ; if in 1821, four millions and upwards ; in 182:2 2. fe12,000/. ; 1823, 2,508,0001: in 1824, 1,800,000/. ; and if ill I;e2e, 600,11001. If t hi s stat e ment watt thought exaggerated because he had taken the wholeemount of Exchequer Übe every lion. Gentlemanntight take whatever abare he thought ought to have been fronded in any Of the years he had mentioned, end the hiss would then have It ien in proportion to such share. This consideraten woe m addition to other substantial reasons of public feeling which alone would have been sufficient in justify Government in the course it put, sued. With respect to the part of the unfunded debt that which teem provided for, h e s h ou ld not much advert to it. I t consisted principally of advancer mule by the Bank, fns the purpose of en. Oiling Government to pay off dissentient holden of 4 and 5 pet cent. stocks. The Whole of this account between Government and the Bank would, he had the satisfaction to state be disposed of by the end oldie present year. Whit respect to t ime annual dutlet no advaneem heti been made upon then), so that his Hon. Friend might dismites whatever apprehentions he entertained on tha t score. In regard to the deficiencice of the general revenue, the advances of the Bank to supply them had in no Cate exceeded . the balance of public money in inthendm . i and at the present rein merit were nothing like ttet much.
